KGO-TV’s Dan Noyes and “Running for Jim”

My main man Dan Noyes of KGO-TV — we got to know each other when I did weekly movie reviews for that station in the mid to late Nineties — has co-produced and co-directed a documentary, “Running for Jim,” that is doing very nicely on the festival circuit. It just won best documentary at the Soho International Film Festival, and the week before that it picked up an award in Moscow. Tomorrow night at 8, it will be playing as part of the Tiburon Film Festival — its California debut — at the Playhouse Theater. Dan and co-director Robin Hauser Reynolds will be there.

Look at the trailer above. It looks good. It chronicles a San Francisco University High School coach’s battle against ALS and how he inspires his runners. You might remember hearing about a girl who crawled across the finish line to win the state championship, because she’d do anything for her coach. This is the story. Call 415-435-1234. And say hi to Dan for me.
